D-lib magazine 10 years old

What Peter Suber describes as one of the most successful and influential OA journals covering digital-library issues, the 10th anniversary edition of D-Lib Magazine is now online. Particularly recommended is Clifford Lynch's article
Where Do We Go From Here? The Next Decade for Digital Libraries The language is a little heavy but the sentiment familiar - focus on what you want your information system to do, not on what the invogue technology can currently do:

"The next decade for digital libraries may well be characterized most profoundly by the transition from technologies and prototypes to the ubiquitous, immersive, and pervasive deployment of digital library technologies and services in the broader information and information technology landscape."
